While attempting to open the pool last weekend my pump was seized and the motor only hummed. Got a nearly identical Waterway pump from amazon, but this one is open on the shaft side exposing openings into the motor. Should I worry about covering the motor from rain or not?

I've had a TA of 140 for several years, and first of all how important is it that I correct that? Most seasons I've only had to add a tiny amount of MA 2 or 3 times to maintain 7.7, but this year already I've had to add borax twice, so I'm wondering how can I aerate instead. Last year I put a...

I started out the season with some leftover 7.55% Clorox bleach and have switched over to my season's supply of 8.25%, but every time I log adding bleach the app defaults to 7.55% and I have to change it to 8.25%. How can I set the app to default to 8.25% bleach?

It was a much harder than usual Winter for SE PA, and I had more tree debris then ever in the pool when I opened it a few weeks ago, and the vinyl is stained yellow/brown on the bottom in a few spots. Is there any way to clean the vinyl?

I got the TFP email about the bleach manufacturers reducing their chlorine %'s, but I can't find anything about it on the website. I thought some liquid bleach alternatives were going to be listed somewhere on the site. Is anyone familiar?

Hi all, We kept our pool between 85 and 90 degrees for all of last September and used a solar cover except while swimming. It cost about $200 in electricity for that month, and I bet I can do much better by covering the pool with foam boards at the end of the season. Has anyone done this or...

The pool finished filling (with help from heavy rain) about 4:00 AM this morning, did start up procedure with sand filter and its been running for about 1 hour now, I have 24oz of cya in a sock in front of the skimmer, I added bleach a couple of times while filling and the water is turning...

Hello All, Within a few weeks I should have a small pool to enjoy and take care of. I have a jug of bleach, a bag of baking soda and a box of 20 Mule Team borax (None of which was bought for the pool, it's just my normal household stock). I ordered a 64oz bottle of granular cyanuric acid from...
